4x4 Response Wales Recruitment Evening - Gwent

[yaki]

4x4 Response Wales will be holding a recruitment and information evening at
The Three Blackbirds, Llantarnam, Cwmbran, NP44 3AY (OS Grid Ref ST301 924)
on 4th March at 7:30pm. The evening is aimed at any 4x4 owners willing to
make themselves and their vehicles available to the Emergency Planning
Service during severe adverse weather and/or local emergency.



The Group was kept very busy across Wales in the recent heavy snow
undertaking over 100 callouts in support of Emergency Services, Hospitals,
and Social Care.



Anyone interested in finding out more about the Group will be welcome to
attend the Cwmbran meeting or alternatively go to www.4x4responsewales.org
<http://www.4x4responsewales.org/> . It is proposed to hold a monthly
meeting in the area once a core local group is formed.



4x4 Response Wales organises regular training events in Off Road Driving,
Recovery Techniques, Communications and Navigation. Membership presents an
ideal opportunity for 4x4 owners to learn to drive their vehicle safely off
road and in adverse conditions and also to support their communities in
times of need.



4x4 Response Wales is a registered charity offering logistical support to
Emergency Planning Officers and Emergency Services during times of severe
weather and other local emergency. The Group organises regular training and
assessment weekends across Wales to prepare their volunteers and vehicles
and to ensure that members can provide a high quality service when required.
